If you want a school that is not too big or too small this is the school for you. The location is perfect because it is 20 minutes away from Delaware and Philadelphia. This school has helped me prepare for the future! I highly recommend and being a student athlete made my social life even better!

I'm graduating this year and I am honestly sad to go. I have had a great experience at Rowan and will genuinely miss it here. I would recommend this school over and over again and I am grateful I chose it 4 years ago.

As an student of this college I am very grateful for all the opportunities given. I’ve achieved so much with them and there are no words to explain how happy I am to apply and be an alumni of this University.

Great campus with an abundance of social events. So many modern and comfortable places to hang out and do homework indoors and outdoors. Great professors and my experience with advisors have been nothing but positive. Very up to date with technology with a lot of digital resources. The campus is constantly expanding and more enrollment every year.

It's great and the location is really good. The professors just want you to succeed and you are supported throughout. There are a variety of resources available to assist students. The food is good and you have many options for your meals. You get to meet new people and make friends for life. There are numerous activities, events and clubs. Fun!!!!

Absolutely terrible campus, there infrastructure cannot handle all of their plans or the students they have.

BS school full of BS teachers. Dozens of kids have killed themselves since I've been here. It's a truly disgusting place to be, and I pity anyone who has to come here

Absolute joke college. Anything and everything that goes wrong, from internet problems to parking is considered the students fault. You will not even be considered in the right of any situation unless you are in some sort of meaningless position at the school. Every professor is rude and makes you the problem instead of fixing it. Don't go here.
Overall 1.3
This school has decreased in quality. Students aren't able to buy food or textbooks yet any opportunity is almost always unpaid intenship and admin are paid 6 figures.
Overall 1.4
Pick literally any other school but don't go here
Overall 1.5
Don't expect any help from staff at this school, very few will be honest too. I got lied to a lot when transferring here (even by the dean of transfer students), I just wish I recorded the convos so I could show them, but they'd probably do nothing anyway. Pay lots of money for very little in return.

This college is completely horrid. The professors do not care about their students, its a giant scam of a college. everything is about money. This college flat out SUCKS
Overall 1.8
I should have chosen somewhere closer knowing that if you don't have a car you're pretty much stuck on campus. Nothing else to do but go to parties and the school focuses on putting more money to useless things meanwhile living situations are horrible. Transferring out, horrible school.

Do yourself a favor and research other schools. Went here after community college and wish I never did. No help with finding a job or internship. Everyone acts like they hate their jobs and dont wanna help you in anyway.

I advise anyone who is thinking about attending Rowan to not. As a female on campus, I feel extremely unsafe. This year alone there has been something new every week, from racism to sexual assaults, to robberies and shootings. There are a select few professors who actually care about you and your endeavors. Other staff is cold and stand offish.
